Our beloved Bichon Frise is terribly ill–early diagnosis points to lymphoma, but we are praying it is lyme disease instead. If it is lymphoma, we have no other choice but to put him to sleep and it will break our hearts. Zachary is only 6 years old and until now, very healthy and active. He has been the bright spot in our lives, the constant companion and the ball of fur I cry into in my darkest of days.

I am asking for the intercession of St. Francis of Assisi to bless our little guy, to send out our dear Lord’s healing powers on his poor body.

Here are some pictures taken yesterday–and we are hoping for many more years with him, but that is up to God.
